bush makes rare visit to congress - seeks to rally GOP

<snip>

The president has already launched an effort to fill in the blanks of US policy in Iraq, where violence has clouded the future of Bush's plan to transfer that country to self-rule on June 30.

But he also faces a struggle to win passage of his budget for fiscal 2005, which begins October 1. The House approved a 2.4-trillion-dollar version late Wednesday, but its fate in the Senate is unclear.

<snip>

McCain took aim at Bush's mammoth tax cuts at a time when the war in Iraq has topped the administration's cost estimates, saying: "Nothing tops my confusion with the rationale for cutting taxes during wartime."

5. The "extremist" elements are really starting to show!!!
I'm glad they are so g-damned arrogant. I want them to continue their wacko rhetoric. The common, decent American people are really starting to pick up on this shit!!!

16. Now, now, now -- there's no need to get snippy
"I think the American people--I hope the American--I don't think, let me--I hope the American people trust me."

- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 18, 2002
